Ask HN: Please review our new service - Zukmo

It looks promising. Some of my initial comments.

It imported the bookmarks from Firefox just fine. But the categorization of the bookmarks is, sorry to be critical, but buggy. Examples I can say are,

1) Techmeme, Engadget, Techcrunch etc. pages not in Sci/Tech. 2) Cricinfo, ESPN, ManUtd pages not in Sports. 3) A page on Microsoft and Cleartype was placed in Entertainment!! 4) MSBuild tutorial on Health!

and so on. You need to fix this real quick I believe. As it's one of your main selling point.

1) The Search lens image can be clickable. I atleast expected it to be.Only way is to press Enter key. 2) If the search result don't return any results, don't change the categories left panel from general to search specific.

Overall I like it and may use it.

Besides, are you associated with AdventNet/Zoho? Just wanted to check as you have put a footnote for Vembu Technologies. Are they both related even? I might be mistaken.

When I tried to confirm my email, I get redirected to: http://zukmo.com/register.html?err=rk_invalid

Also, If I try using the twitter button on that page to login, It throws the following error when it redirects to http://www.zukmo.com/twitter?oauth_token=_____________

"java.lang.NullPointerException"

How is this different from historious? I use historious and instapaper to save bookmarks and read later, and I am extremely happy with the service. I might jump in if your service provided features of both, ie: indexing my bookmarks and making it available on my kindle.

Also do you provide bookmarklets instead of the firefox plugin? It would be easier for those of us who use multiple machines and may not be able to install plugins on all.

I do like the idea of indexing content other than just webpages, like youtube videos, rss , twitter etc. Does your system handle Twitter and RSS updates also?

I will be back with more feedback after I start using the service.

Thanks vkalladath for the feedback. We are indexing the entire content as well as have an Easy Reader that provides an uncluttered view of the page. Providing support for Kindle is a good idea. We are currently working on iPhone, iPad and Android apps. Will look into Kindle as well.

We do provide bookmarklets. Once you sign into the app, go to the "Account" tab and you will see "Bookmarklet" option.

We do plan on adding Facebook and Twitter streams as well as RSS feeds.

Thanks CWuestefeld. Yes, we did ask for it :-) That is why we love HN and the constructive discussions here.

You raise a very important point. We did discard all the heirarchical structure and the tags. Our initial thought was that tags and folders are not needed as we can search for a bookmark based on terms we remember from the content of the page. However, the fact is that there maybe additional data in the tags and folders and descriptions that may get ignored. We are looking at way to add this data into our index so that it isn't lost.

We are planning on adding the search within the browser extensions. That would make it easy for you to search your Zukmo account without visiting the site.

About signing in through Facebook, it is just an option some users may find useful. They don't have to remember another password. Personally, I find the Twitter sign in option as I don't mind giving out my Twitter credentials. So, we decided to provide all three options: Your own email id/password, Twitter or Facebook.
